Okay, so, Boom is almost the color of my skin (see photo of my eye) whereas Vanilla is much lighter. It's a cream color. Boom is more peachy, as others have said. Vanilla is a highlight for me while Boom is almost like a wash of shimmer (because it matches my skin, not because it is sheer).

Vanilla! I wear it almost every day as a highlighter, alternated with Bone if I don't want any shimmer (Bone pretty much melts into my eye area color-wise).

Boom is more of a lid color on me and to be honest I'm not a big fan of it. I think I've worn it maybe twice...maybe I should put in on the swap list! :P If your eye area is pretty fair, go with Vanilla, if you are more medium toned, Boom would probably work better!
